FabHotel Motisarai
The worst hotel ever they took 200rs extra telling the cost is 1100 but the hotel is showing 965 they should be banned from this application fraud and scamming people
FabHotel Nest
My booking was cancelled just a few hours before my arrival without any prior notice. I had paid for a premium hotel, but they unilaterally cancelled it on the day of check-in and shifted my booking to a much lower-grade hotel. When I contacted them for help regarding a refund or a room change, they completely ignored my calls and did not respond at all. This level of service is extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. I would not recommend booking with them.
FabHotel Royal Plaza
They created this entire issue about tarrifs which they had to settle with fab, they let me check in at 4pm
FabHotel Sonargaon
worst experience, deceiving photos of the property. At this price a somewhat better experience can be experienced. The staff boys are least helpful. they dont help u with ur bags, dont even talk appropriately. The rooms was bad on another level. badly maintained. the bolt of the toilet was nt even working so hlwe had to sleep with the toilet door open. the commode was broken. Conplimentary breakfast needs a special bad mention. was provided 2 slices bread, one egg, a sachet of jam and a banana. didnt even serve tea with it. we had to order tea n milk and pay for it additionally. In short this property is totally avoidable. I had a late check in and the moment i checkd in i wondered when it will be morning so i cud leave this place
FabHotel Prime Rockstar Suites
Worst hotel you can be in Starting from the lift you can feel how worst the hotel is. Do not ever book this hotel you see different images and the rooms alloted will be very different and no service as such
FabHotel Luxor
The rooms were dirty. Bedsheets and pillow covers were used. I had allergic reaction on my face after sleeping on such dirty pillows. Service was OK. The problem of the hotel is that they have not posted the current situation of the rooms. The rooms are very old and dirty covered with moulds. So don't book the hotel after seeing the photos uploaded on the page. Please check the reviews before booking.
FabHotel Prime Rockstar Suites
